Jacket appears to be in very good condition. There was something on the right sleeve, but other than that--great condition. Looks like it has been well maintained.

I think this jacket might be in this book as well:

There is definitely one similar, same group at least, Thorpe Abbots is only an Hr away from me, they have a great display with a fair few A2s. Not much left of the old base now but you usually get a few veterans re-visiting and showing their grandchildren where they spent their youth.

Can anybody make out the label? I tried zooming in, but it's too distorted. Any experts out there?
